A few weeks ago Facebook announced a Partnership with ServiceNation, an exciting new initiative to increase volunteerism and service in America, as part of our ongoing commitment to connect people with the world around them.

Today, more than 60 million Americans volunteer their time and energy to worthy causes and ServiceNation aims to increase that to 100 million by 2020. To this end, ServiceNation has assembled a coalition of organizations large and small, from City Year to Mobilize.org, and Facebook is proud to serve as their lead social media partner.

Tonight, ServiceNation hosts a Presidential Forum on Service with Senators McCain and Obama, where the presidential nominees will discuss their plans and vision to increase service and volunteerism in their potential administrations. It is an event of special significance in New York City on the anniversary of September 11th and will be broadcast live on several television networks.

Tomorrow, the ServiceNation Summit will bring together leading experts from the government, non-profit, military, and private sector to discuss how to best achieve their goal of increased service. The summit will kick-off a year-long campaign for service, including a National Day of Action on September 27th with more than 2,239 events in all 50 states.

Millions of Facebook users are already donating their time to worthy groups and causes across the globe. Just type "volunteer" into the search box to see thousands of groups, events, and pages.
